Award the Contract
Based on the grounds mentioned in R.A. No. 9184 and its IRR, the government reserves the right to
reject any and all Bids, declare a Failure of Bidding at any time prior to the contract award, or not to
award the contract, without thereby incurring any liability, and makes no assurance that a contract
shall be entered into as a result of the bidding. The government also reserves the right to waive the
consideration of minor deviations in the bids received which do not affect the substance and validity
of the bids.

Failure of the successful Bidder to comply shall constitute as a sufficient ground for the annulment of
the award and forfeiture of the Bid Security, in which case the BAC shall initiate and complete the
post qualification of the second Lowest Calculated Bid. The procedure shall be repeated until the
Lowest Calculated and Responsive Bid is identified and selected for contract award. However, if no
Bidder passed the post-qualification stage, the BAC shall declare the bidding a failure.
Standard Instruction to Bidders for Goods and Service: DRUGS AND MEDICINES Notice to Proceed
Upon signing by all the parties concerned of the Purchase Order/Contract, the BAC shall issue a
Notice to Proceed to the successful Bidder, hereafter known as the Supplier. The date of receipt of the
Notice to Proceed will be regarded as the effective date of the Purchase Order/Contract. The
standard terms and conditions of the Purchase Order/Contract are at the back thereof.
The Government Procurement Reform Act
Herein incorporated are the provisions of R.A. No. 9184 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. All
Bidders are deemed to have read and understood the same and are bound thereby. Omission of any
of its provisions in this Instruction to Bidders shall not constitute a waiver on the part of the Government
as to their applicability to this Bidding. Neither shall the BAC assume any responsibility regarding
erroneous interpretations or conclusions by the Bidder of the data furnished by the Government.
In case of any conflict or discrepancy between the contents of these Instructions to Bidders and R.A.
No. 9184 and its IRR, the latter shall prevail.
